Following reports that wife Kourtney Kardashian was by his side, along with claims that Barker was suffering from pancreatitis, we now have confirmation of exactly what transpired.

From Travis Barker himself.

“I went in for an endoscopy Monday feeling great,” wrote the drummer on Saturday afternoon.

“”But, after dinner, I developed excruciating pain and have been hospitalized ever since.”

Concluded Barker:

“During the endoscopy, I had a very small polyp removed right in a very sensitive area, usually handled by specialists, which unfortunately damaged a critical pancreatic drainage tube.

“This resulted in severe, life-threatening pancreatitis.”

Again: scary, scary stuff.

The DTA Records founder concluded:

“I am so very, very grateful that with intensive treatment I am currently much better.”

Moments after her spouse broke his silence, Kardashian shared her own statement via Instagram Story.

“Oh what a scary and emotional week it has been. Our health is everything and sometimes we take for granted how quickly it can change,” she wrote on Saturday.

“Travis and I went in for a routing endoscopy together and he ended up with severe, life-threatening pancreatitis.”

For the frightening record, this was not Travis’ first major hospitalization.

In 2008, he actually survived a private plane crash that killed four people and left him with third-degree burns on 65 percent of his body.

Barker was hospitalized for three months and underwent 26 surgeries as a result of this accident.

We’re glad he ended up okay then, and we’re glad he seems to be okay now.
